Te doy mi corazon (An Offer from a Gentleman) Book

Perfectly fine

which sounds boring, and in truth this book kind of was as well. not boring in the sense that the story was overly dull or drawn out, but in the way that your average run of the mill historical can be.

this book was based on Cinderella and while i initially loathed the idea, it turned out to be a fun retelling. i think the main reason that this story isn't more than 3 star for me though is the lack of relationship development. we get a lot of sophie in her own head and a lot of her poor treatment by her stepmom in the start of the story. but i didn't really see why the hero and heroine liked each other beyond the heroine taking a polite interest in the hero's "hidden depths." there just weren't enough moments beyond him trying to convince her to be his mistress that really established a foundation for the relationship.

overall, this was perfectly enjoyable but definitely not memorable. i'm just reading through these at this point in preparation for the netflix adaptation.
